Hasta La Motion!

The Foundry is pleased to announce that MPC has invested in a Nuke site license.

MPC have been using Nuke successfully in their commercials department for some time producing spots including Kerry LowLow ‘Mouse’ (above) which recently won MPC two VES nominations. The decision to switch their motion picture compositing pipeline to Nuke makes them one of the largest Nuke sites in the world.

Stephen Newbold, 2D VFX Supervisor for Commercials at MPC, said, “There were numerous factors which led to the decision to switch to Nuke as the primary compositing tool for CG heavy commercials at MPC. The raw speed of Nuke has been a huge benefit, the linear workflow merges seamlessly with our 3D pipeline and the 2D/3D environment has allowed our compositors to take on a lot of the set-extension and matte painting projection that would historically have had to be dealt with by the 3D department. Nuke has allowed us to maintain the quality of our compositing while tackling more complex jobs yet meeting the ever-tighter deadlines.”
